Next time you see a thumb poking out from a PC’s USB port think twice before calling an ambulance, because it’s more likely to be quirky online vendor Brando’s idea of a joke.

The retailer’s taken the phase “thumb drive” a little too …

Which one...

... is the fake thumb cos the one that ISNT stuck into the laptop looks in pretty bad shape. Is that Tippex™ on the nail???? Get some hand cream dude, gets rid of the dry, red sore skin... What? Don't worry we wont call you a sissy...

Awesome!

Doubles up as...

re: I remember ...

And I remember when a dude got pulled over because one of those fake arms was hanging out of his trunk (this was in the US). Held at gun point in his car for about an hour with dozens of cops all around him until someone finally popped the lid (they could have, for instance, asked him to open it, or give them the keys, but noooooo). The Authorities were not amused. I think he got ticketed for some piddly assed $50 fine sort of thing and Austin sued him, but after that it lost its "newsworthiness".

Any prints on it

If you click the link to the site you'll see that the real hand in the picture has been hilariously made-up to you like it's been involved in severing the USB 'thumb'. Not sure what the tipp-ex is all about though but if I meet someone wearing it on their fingernails I'll keep my hands at a safe distance I think.
